LINDSEY: Trump Giving In To Dems On Wall Would Be The ‘End Of His Presidency’
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham advised President Trump against giving in to Democrats’ demands on border wall funding, arguing that would so would be “the end of his presidency.”
“He’s not going to sign a bill that doesn’t have money for the wall. I can tell you exactly how this is going to end. The president is going to challenge Democrats to compromise and if they continue to say no, they’re going to pay the price with the American people,” Sen. Graham told Fox News anchor Sean Hannity in an interview Wednesday evening.
“If he gives in now, that’s the end of 2019 in terms of him being an effective president,” he continued. “That’s the probably the end of his presidency. Donald Trump has made a promise to the American people. He’s going to secure our border.”
“That’s the end of us if we give in on this issue as Republicans,” he added.

“I hope Mitt Romney and everybody else knows this is a fight worth having,” Graham said, referring to a scathing op-ed authored by Romney in the Washington Post, which was highly critical of President Trump.
The government shutdown began at midnight on Dec. 22, after Democrats refused to fund President Trump’s border wall – and President Trump refused to sign a continuing resolution to fund the government — without funds for the project, which he says is needed for “national security” reasons.
Democrats in the House plan to vote on a package of legislation Thursday, aimed at reopening the federal government. One bill would fund a slew of government agencies through Sept. 30, while another would fund the Department of Homeland Security through Feb. 8.
McConnell said Wednesday that he would not bring Democratic proposals up for a vote in the Senate — because President Trump would not sign them into law.
During the past 24 hours, incoming U.S. Senator and bitter failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked President Donald J. Trump’s character in a Washington Post op-ed, causing Trump to hit him back on Twitter. Romney alienated his own niece who sided with President.
McDaniel, the GOP Chairwoman is Romney’s niece. She was the chairwoman of the Michigan Republican party and helped boost Trump to victory in that state in 2016. She took over as GOP chair after Reince Priebus was canned, and has been asked by Trump to stay in the role through the 2020 campaign.
Romney, whose crowning achievement in politics was delivering socialized healthcare to the citizens of Massachusetts as governor, has been bitter since the ascendance of Trump, a political outsider who took the do-nothing GOP establishment by storm. There was a period of time when Trump reportedly considered Romney as Secretary of State, a job that was eventually offered to and accepted by Rex Tillerson.
He was outspokenly anti-Trump during 2016, which had little effect on ordinary Americans who no longer care about the opinions of the former ruling class in Washington D.C.
